Yesterday we brought you a story about Lil Wayne’s ex-wife Toya Wright being arrested late Tuesday night in Georgia. Today, the reality star confirmed the arrest and spoke about her experience.
SOHH Reports:
Lil Wayne’s baby mama/ex-wife Toya Wright was arrested Tuesday in Georgia … TMZ has learned. The details surrounding the arrest are sketchy at best — with one law enforcement official telling us Wright was pulled over in College Park, GA yesterday … and during the stop, the cop noticed a warrant out for her arrest. We’re told … the warrant was issued after Wright failed to appear at a recent court date — though it’s unclear why she was supposed to be in court to begin with. Toya was hauled to a nearby station, where she was booked and posed for an “Are you frickin’ serious?” mug shot. Toya, who starred in the reality show “Tiny and Toya,” was eventually released from jail Wednesday morning at 1:30 AM on a $290 bond. (TMZ)
Toya also confirmed the arrest and jail visit went down via an Instagram post on Wednesday (December 11).
“Wow!!! It’s true I was jailed due to a old ticket that I thought I had taken care of but it was not. I try my best to take care of that sort of thing quickly but some how the ticket slipped through the cracks. I spent a day in jail and I must say that this experience was one of the most devastating of my life. I wouldn’t wish jail time for my worse enemy.” (Toya Wright’s Instagram)
The reality television star promised to better her ways and described the incident as a learning experience.
“Everyone that gets locked up isn’t a danger to the community. Many people are in jail are just like me for a ticket that was either forgotten or thought to be taken care of. But the way most are treated is inhumane. I never thought in a million years that the kind of things I’ve witnessed went on. The situation was so bad that I don’t even want to leave out the house. After my ordeal I am seriously contemplating being an advocate of better treatment for prisoners. Please believe I’m working on my lightening up my lead foot and if I do mess up and get another ticket, that day it will be taken care of. @tmz” (Toya Wright’s Instagram)
